Sorry folks but I never got the memo about not touching the flag. I haven’t been able to read all 200 posts on this topic so I'm not sure why it's a problem, but if DM can survive being mistaken for DMOTD (where was that anyway, Atlanta?) then she can survive this.

The flag thing is plenty cool with or without sacred rules. And right there at that moment in Monterey the little blast of flag love was a much appreciated boost to morale. I’m a sucker for ritual just like anyone else, and I’m sorry if I screwed this up, but I just couldn’t resist having a closer look at my green touring companion. This has been a long tour for both of us. Would you all freak out completely if I offered the flag a ride on the band jet?

I never like to speak for a crowd, just louder than it, but I think we're over it and ALSO thankful for the Friggin adorable pics!

If we boosted morale and gave you a giggle, well, then I believe that is well within the intention. Wait, that is EXACTLY the intention. And rules are only made to make sure the intention is intact. So, they need to be flexible right?

DM will need to answer, but I think we would all just peee if the flag booted a ride on the jet. We'd need official and non-official photogs to document this.

However, and please do not be offended, but I am thinking that might get nixed. Do you really think YOU are more reliable than FEDEX? <ducks>

Hell, we haven't even asked Charlie to carry it, though it probably would have been easier on DM. I think the point is that WE need to sweat it out, right?
But, you know, you get to bend all the rules- they are for you after all doofus, I mean Maestro. So, a special dispensation?

Anyway, glad you and flag got to get over a little of that mounting sexual tension between the two of you.
Frankly, getting anywhere near it is nearly a little too squee inducing even for me. And the rest of us.

Now that you've had your first kiss, we hope you won't lose interest!

There are more flag bearers waiting to show you the love.Thanks for giving Joe such special points in Buenos Aires. He RESCUED the flag single-handedly, so he deserves the love right back!

Take care and keep stopping in!

Now, perhaps you might want to rest before BEATING THE BEJEZZUZ OUT OF BUENOS AIRES AGAIN TONIGHT????????????

Stewart, it's great to hear from you! If you're happy, then we're happy Glad to hear the little green man has brought you much joy. Your offer to give it a ride in the band's jet, however, may prompt 200 more posts.
